Travelling Around Cesky Krumlov

This  website concerns itself with attractions and activities, which do not  require a car. The historic centre of Cesky Krumlov is pedestrianised  and many hotels etc do not have free parking. However that should not  prevent you from traveling around the Cesky Krumlov area - the public transport system is good and cheap.

Travelling by Train Around Cesky Krumlov

One of the nicest ways of seeing the area is by train. The little train  from Ceske Budejovice wends its way through the Area of Outstanding  Natural Beauty of the Blansky Les (Blansko Forest) before arriving at  Cesky Krumlov. After Cesky Krumlov it goes on via stops along Lipno Lake  through the Sumava National Park to Volary.
